Hidden And Revealed
$34.99A major contribution to ecumenical reflection on the doctrine of God.
The past century has seen renewed interest in the doctrine of God. While theological traditions disagree, their shared commitment to Nicene orthodoxy provides a common language for thinking and speaking about God. This dialogue has deepened our understanding of this shared way of thinking about God, but little has been done across ecumenical lines to explore God’s hiddenness in revelation.
In Hidden and Revealed, Dmytro Bintsarovskyi explores the hiddenness and revelation of God in two separate theological streams–Reformed and Orthodox. Bintsarovskyi shows that an understanding of both traditions reflects a deep structure of shared language, history, and commitments, while nevertheless reflecting real differences. With Herman Bavinck and John Meyendorff as his guides, Bintsarovskyi advances ecumenical dialogue on a doctrine central to our knowledge of God.

Valley : My Quest For The Ultimate Reality
$13.99St. Augustine said long ago, “Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.” In a world that is becoming increasingly noisy and confusing, this rest has become more and more difficult to find.
Henry Martens shares his personal quest for the ultimate reality, which could just as well be referred to as the ultimate reality’s quest for him. His secret to finding this reality is to become quiet and let God find him. “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). Henry recounts his joy and discoveries along the way in the natural world that God has created. The book also contains questions for personal meditation or group discussion to help readers in their own quests.

Death Did Us Part
$10.99Death Did Us Part presents a short story about the tumultuous marital relationship of a couple at the brink of divorce. The book, based on a true story, is a reflection on some of the pitfalls that plagued the marriage of Akawd and Muka and brought it to its deathbed.

These patterns may then be named and safely externalized. The book also serves to celebrate marriages and the couples who keep their vows.

Gods Word : A Guide To Holy Scripture
$18.99You read it. But do you understand it?
While the Bible is the most famous book in history, it can be intimidating. Yet God’s word is for us and all people. It is living and active and has the power to save, give life, and heal. Do we read the Bible attuned to the power of God’s word?
John W. Kleinig opens up the riches found in the Bible. He likens God’s word to a lavish meal that nourishes and satisfies our souls. He shows us the centrality of Scripture to Christian faith–the word through which the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit speak with one voice to believers on Earth.

Quiet Mind To Suffer With
$19.99Suffering has been made holy by Christ’s proximity to it.
This is the story of Christ’s nearness to my own suffering–my mental breakdown, my journey to the psych ward, my long, slow, painful recovery–and how Christ will use even our agony and despair to turn us into servants and guests of the mercy offered in his gospel.
We cannot answer suffering. And yet suffering demands an answer. If Jesus is the answer to suffering, what kind of answer is Jesus? Everything that could be taken from a person was taken from him. The worst things a person could be made to see and feel were seen and felt by Christ. All of this came to a point in the nails driven into his hands and became a word that cannot be unspoken–his body broken and his blood poured out for us. Suffering has been made holy by Christ’s proximity to it.

Against Worldview : Reimagining Christian Formation As Growth In Wisdom
$18.99Reframing the lenses of Christian worldview
*Recognize the limits and failures of Christian worldview education
*Consider a more organic approach to Christian learning and education
*Understand the value of wisdom over rigid frameworksIn Against Worldview: Reimagining Christian Formation as Growth in Wisdom, Simon P. Kennedy challenges the conventions of Christian worldview education and provides a better way.
Although the current concept of Christian worldview appears incontestable, it rests upon shaky philosophical foundations, fails to account for the complexities of how we interact with the world, and may even undermine the curiosity essential for true learning. But rather than shattering the lenses of Christian worldview, Kennedy reframes worldview around wisdom.
A biblical worldview is not downloaded all at once. It is cultivated piece by piece, as we learn about God, his world, and ourselves. Christian education is an organic process of learning to wisely nurture a biblical worldview.

Los Angeles interior designer and former foster kid Kendall Green is in high demand, both for her impeccable eye and for her uncanny ability to uncover the provenance of any piece.

Then an unexpected inheritance provides a timely solution: a grandmother she never knew has left her a group of historic properties in a tiny Colorado town on the edge of ruin.

Now, seeing the town slowly wither and die, he’s desperate to restore it to its former glory. Unfortunately, his vision is at odds with a local developer who wants to see the town razed and rebuilt as a summer resort. He’s sure that he can enlist the granddaughter of one of its most prominent former citizens to his cause-until he meets Kendall and realizes that not only does she know nothing of her own history, she has no interest in reviving a place that once abandoned her.In order to save his beloved town, Gabe must first help Kendall unravel the truth of her own provenance-and Kendall must learn that in order to embrace the future, sometimes you have to start with the past.

The disciples could not wait. Christ had said He would bring an end to human rule and establish His kingdom. But when? Eager to learn how the future would unfold, they asked Him about the signs of His coming and the end times. What should they expect to take place?

*Why is the rebirth of Israel the most significant sign that the end times are near?
*What other important clues, evident today, reveal the closeness of the tribulation and Christ’s return?
*Where does the rapture fit in the chronology of all that will occur in the last days?
*After Christ returns, what is next?
As you study the signs Jesus foretold, you’ll see amazing evidence that we are living in the very time of these signs–and gain a clear understanding of what will happen, and when.

Jesus Revealed In The End Times Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$15.99The end times shouldn’t scare us–they should bring us hope
Most books about the end times focus on the events described in biblical prophecy–wars, natural disasters, economic turmoil, and more–rather than the One who is revealed in those events. The result? God’s people end up fearful about what is to come rather than hopeful about Who is to come. But the Bible’s prophecies of the last days can fill us with joy and peace as we anticipate the return and reign of our beloved Savior, Jesus Christ.
In Jesus Revealed in the End Times, bestselling author Dr. Robert Jeffress takes a radically different approach to prophecy, helping you see the end times through the lens of Jesus Christ. You’ll stop fretting about future events as you start to know Jesus more deeply, see Him more clearly, and praise Him more joyfully.
This study guide helps you get the most out of the book, whether you’re studying it alone, in a small group, or as part of a churchwide initiative. With engaging icebreakers, thought-provoking questions, and activities to build on what you’ve learned, this study guide will help you face tomorrow with confidence and courage as you come to know the One who controls the future.

Becoming By Beholding
$27.99We tend to think of the imagination as the realm of fantasy and makebelieve. However, the imagination shapes our vision of reality in that the stories, symbols, and places that capture our hearts become part of who we are.
Becoming by Beholding restores the imagination to its central role in spiritual formation by recovering key works from the Christian tradition, enabling us to experience the formative power of the imagination for ourselves. It also revives “the art of fashioning the soul” as an essential aspect of Christian spiritual formation and character development.
Lanta Davis explains that many of the problems at the heart of the Christian church today–such as nationalism, consumerism, and partisan politics–stem from a crisis of the imagination. She encourages us to reorient our gaze from diseased cultural forms and fix our eyes instead on works from the historic Christian imaginative tradition that better reflect the love, joy, and wonder of the gospel.
Becoming by Beholding will appeal to professors and students in spiritual formation, worldview, and theology and arts courses as well as to all Christian readers interested in the intersection of theology and art. Each chapter introduces a different work of the Christian imagination: icons, sacred architecture, imaginative prayer, bestiaries, and personifications of the virtues and vices. The book also includes a twenty-page insert featuring numerous full-color images.

Both And Ministry
$15.99Gospel workers are called to be both/and people:
*both patient and urgent,
*both confident and humble,
*both dependent on God and committed to hard work,
*both theologically driven and practically wise, and more.Often, these requirements feel as though they’re in tension. But this book shows that rather than leaning one way or the other, or seeking to strike a balance, authentic gospel ministry is found in pursuing both/and. To settle for less puts ourselves and our churches in danger.
Gary Millar has been involved in training hundreds of gospel workers at Queensland Theological College. Pointing to Christ as our supreme example, he helps readers to reflect on and refine their own ministry practice in a range of different areas-while also enjoying God’s grace where they fall short.
As you look at all things through the lens of the gospel, you’ll increasingly become the fully-formed follower of Jesus and servant of his church that you have been called to be.
Ideal for church staff and lay leaders, students preparing for ministry, and ministry apprentices and interns, as well as for any Christian who is heavily involved in their local church.
